This place looks like something out of a zombie movie. My friend and I stopped in while wandering around on our first day in Niagara Falls and were not impressed. Food court was bad too. The outside is faded and old-looking and the building just looks dilapidated and in disrepair. The quality of the souvenirs here is pretty low. Don't recommend. You can find much better stuff at the Maid of ...

Tourist trap that sits right in front (but is not related to) the Niagara Falls State Park. Has food and public restrooms but otherwise full of touristy merchandise, companies selling tickets you can buy directly from the operator, and a video game arcade. If you are coming for the Falls in a state park setting, skip this place. Food and many restrooms available inside the park. If you are coming ...

A chintzy mini-mall selling the same generic, overpriced knick-knacks and souvenirs you'd find at any other tourist trap. The food court is even worse! It was dirty and all the food was insanely expensive! The arcade is a bit better, being fairly well equipped, with a decent view from a dining area at one corner.

This building is HIGHLY Niagara Fall big SCAM for tourists. Wonder why the IRS and the state will allow this building to do business. Restaurants are charging people 8% tax + another 8% for the building fees
